making a cat5 cable (useful little thing)

no question here. just a post that may be of some use to some.

had a kit
sitecom network installation kit 1
it had all required stuff.

one really useful thing was
"jacket cable stripper" TB 110. It was just a little plastic thing
Good for stripping cable insulation off to reveal stranded wires
(without touching the wires) (stranded wires don't get stripped, I
think the crimping tool does it a little bit in the connector)



can find similar things on google images.

1-4 were the relevant ones for me at the time, they worked nicely)
